Aromatherapy – only your nose knows

Smells have always been an extremely important society. Historically, and earlier, fragrances are an integral part of our lives. Most people have their own favorite smell. It might be a perfume, a man's balm, a certain flower or a fragrant plant. Many times a fragrance can bring memories back, whether good or bad. These different flavors are an undeniably important part of our everyday life.

Incense and aromatic oils have been used and used for years. Many times as a perfume, but for religious ceremonies, embalming or disguising odors. Some cultures, such as Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, used aromatic plants for health purposes. Even today, many gardeners use some fragrances to help protect specific insects that help spread plant diseases.

In fact, only aromatherapy was introduced until the 1920s, which became a formal consideration of the health sector. Only by mistake a French chemist discovered the supposed healing effect of lavender oil after burning his hands. He and other French doctors eventually experimented with other oils. France still plays an important role in the perfume and oil industry. Many of these oils come from shells, wood resins, leaves, bark, roots and flowers. They are often sprayed into the air and inhaled or used on the skin with massage. They can be used in a hot bath or cold compress. Some oils are sometimes used orally, which can be quite dangerous because many people are poisonous if they ate. The most important oils are hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds. They are usually extracted in concentrated form and used safely with vegetable oil. The known names are the evening pub and almonds, which are often diluted with alcohol available to the public.

The aromatherapists understand that these wonderful fragrances contribute to the huge perfume and cosmetic industry. However, those who, more importantly, believe that these substitutes can improve mood and promote good health. Special examples of mint, lavender and rosemary stimulate the salivary glands. Camphor and calamus are good for the heart. Bergamot and juniper are antiseptics. These are simply examples of the alleged positive effects of known oils.

According to aromatherapists, oils calm or stimulate. They have a chemical effect on hormones and enzymes, or have psychological effects based on past experience. One fact is that smell is one of the most acute. It stimulates memories, emotions, and even sexual excitement. As a result, aromatic oils can help treat serious illnesses? Probably not, but we can not dispute the fact that certain oils and scents have an effect on our heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. If these oils and scents are properly used, they may have a very positive effect on our hectic life.
